At Northern Trust, the Market Advocacy and Innovation function drives interaction with key industry bodies, regulators and governments to positively influence market change in line with the organization's strategic direction. The function also supports new opportunities to accelerate profitable business growth while promoting the next-generation enterprise operating model for Northern Trust's clients.
